Overview

Proprietary serial encoders made by Mitsubishi meant to work with their MELDAS CNC controllers. It uses 2.5 Mbaud RS-422 to communicate with the controller. The protocol has been partially reverse engineered, and is supported by Rene Hopf's STMBL servo drive.

Specifications

Page 195 (III-58 in the PDF) of the BNP-C3000C(ENG) manual details the specifications for different variants.

Bill of Materials

MC34051 RS-422 transceiver chip.

Protocol

The encoder uses a full duplex RS-422 UART to connect to the host:

Baud Rate 2,500,000
Data Bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Parity none

For interacting with the encoder from a PC, a USB to serial supporting a higher than usual baudrate must be used. A convenient converter that also has native RS-422 support is a MaxLinear XR21B1420IL28-0A-EVB USB to RS-232/422/485 Evaluation Board.

Requests from the host seem to be a single byte, and the response is multi-byte with a checksum. For recognized commands the response's first byte is the request byte echo'd back, and it seems for unrecognized commands it has a default response. Here is a list of known commands:

Request Response Length Description
0x02 7 angle only (no full revolutions)
0x1A 11
0x2A 9 same as 0xA2?
0x32 9 same as 0xA2?
0x4A 11
0x52 11
0x62 9
0x7A 3
0x8A 6 full revolutions only (no angle)
0x92 4
0xA2 9
0xBA 7
0xC2 11
0xDA 11
0xEA 9
0xF2 3
0xF4 3

Other possible commands are: 0x0A 0x22 0x3A 0x42 0x5A 0x6A 0x72 0x82 0x9A 0xAA 0xB2 0xCA 0xD2 0xE2 0xF3 0xF5-0xFF
